1. Campaign rally flop

Invited 2,000

“About 400 or so here” - @JenniferJJacobs

Even Fox News agrees (with a little rounding up?): “about 500” showed up.

2. Covid precaution flop

Looks like they’re packing people closer together for a better photo image.

Waiting a few days to buy fresh fries may be dicey for them.

Between 5 & 10% are either not wearing them, or are wearing them improperly,

I guess they don't know how attending that virus fest indicates that they are among the most naive and ignorant people in the country.

In that case, since they don't know what they don't know and don't want to know it and may never even know that, compassion may be due. There are some learning disabilities that can't be overcome.

It looks like they got hats and T-shirts, though. Yay!

had to show up, unless they had Covid, but then again, that might not matter at a trump propaganda event.

Blacks exit the Democratic party.

The blue is to show support by blacks and latinx for law enforcement.

Wondering how many people were paid to attend.

More diversity than one normally sees at a Trump function. Hmmmmm.

(My phone thinks I need chocolate. It capitalized the word 'Sees,' which is a trigger!)

( I know why this happened. The OP!)

... a color copy of the photo, enlarged to fill the paper in landscape. Then I blacked out the red hats and light faces with no hats, counting as I went. I had blacked out 1/3 of the picture when I hit 100. I might continue the project, but I might not.
